I \X .IDUCTrf ION
Aunouncement from Columbia that
IeTC)itumeildations.. will be miiade to the
legislature' looki ng toward a reditc
tion of the state levy from 12 to S mills,
or by one-third, does not mean that
the tax burden will be materially de
creIsed. The state tax levy is hut a
smll1 part of the entire levy, eiher in
the cities or riural disitricts.
The tax levy in the City (if Laurtells
this year, counting state, county, city
and .;ecial school distriet, was 6' 1 -2;
mills. Should the state levy be re
duedl ImilLs, tie total red uction from
1t 1-2 would be neglisible.
With this inlformaltion before uls, w,!
can plainly 'tee that our liol foi Ie
ductioL in tle t ax burden nui ni ot rt*t
in Ct olumi,[a. \\e msti look n ar
home for relief if we think we want
it. The Advertiser thinks, though,
that 1. blen the Iwople collie to reaize
that a conid ble r1)t ( of tlie tax1
biurdeni is fori education of teir own
children , ratihecir than for adinistra
tion expenises at Columbia, they will
hesitate a long tiline before thinkiig
of a ieulC('tIo of lie levy.

"Where the public has a right con-,

program of activities and has coni

Brown said, "theie i, little diffleuli ty
in obtaining the ioiney n'cess foir

"E'very man Who can a)fford to ay

"Another subject demandIng atten-'
tion Is transportatIon. By this Is not
meant merely the checking of way

much 'bigger than that. It is not

removal of the obstructions.
"Industry, commerce and civics
should all have a place on the pro
grtm. Careful consideration should
be given to the subject of industrial
relations, improved merchandising
methods, the betterment ot' living con
ditions and to iparks, playgrounds and
schools. ,We want to strive for a con

needs of our tributary territory and
aiple school facilities. And we want
a city plan. lvery city, no matter
how small it is, should have a city

We should .yision our city as we want
it to be. and with this in mind we will
be conistanltly striving to make the
dream come trne.
"As increased production, diversified
crops and good roads mean added
prosperity to the farmer, so does in

the expansion of existing industrios

Other Fields to Work.
Other fields of activity suggested by
Nir. Brown for a successful chamber
of commerce inlutide: the promotion
of better tmerchanldising, style shows,
pay-up camPaigis, the exchange of

the chamber of commerce.
"If you can plan," he said. "so as
